Can someone explain the "T" in OLDCARTS pain assessment tool?
I know O is onset, L is location, D is duration, C is characteristics of the pain (stabbing, sharp, shooting), A is associated factors, R is relieving factors, and that S is severity of pain. I also know that T is for timing but I feel like I covered that in duration. What is a good question to associate with the "T" to ask my patients? Thanks for your help!

1 AnswerOther - Cultures & Groups9 years agoIs 50 Shades of Grey worth reading?
I love reading. I've read the Twilight series, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo series and most recently The Book Thief. My taste in books is all over the place I pretty much will read anything. My main concern is that I have heard that these books are written poorly, and I'm not sure if I should waste my time on them. However, everyone I know is reading this series. Any feedback would be appreciated! Thanks!!
